 It was wierd, I have been running around and since I played old school Eq1 for a few years I loved the speed of the bard/selos. However I noticed that my bard quickly outpaces my other toons without selos as if it is not even needed. I just click on Jboots bought off newb vendor and run fast as hell compared to other toons.
  So is selos completely a waste of a spell slot?

This brings another curiosity. If selos is a waste, stuff like selos and selos song of travel are useless and now I know why I keep burning my auto follows in the dust and have to stop and wait for them to catch up lol....

I just use the selos with levitate component if I need to levitate. Otherwise, yeah...no need.  Also, I learned on Live back in...2001? that you should make your bard follow another toon so he doesn't outpace them all, especially if there is some lag.

Ah cool selos not needed. Yea I have never boxed before but I did play a bard on live about 8 years ago =P.... I was a solo bard pretty much 90 percent of the time and loved to swarm kite etc.
  I tried regular EQ(one month subscription) just a bit ago and hated all the changes. The bard was just not the same.

 Anyway thanks. I will remember to put me as the follower of others =P

on live it is a waste when you buy the aa :)

Didn't play live long enough for that AA to be implemented. I think I stopped around just when Planes of power came out. I was already getting bored as things started to drastically change.  Before that I remember you could increase base run speed but selos was still king if I remember right.

Selos was king for a LONG time after PoP, if I remember right it wasn't until around GoD that Selo's started to lose its supremacy. My playtime drastically reduced around that time so I don't remember anymore :-/
